Fans of Kenny Chesney, known as the No Shoes Nation, will be descending on Mohegan Sun Arena , as the country star takes the stage for two shows, Thursday, Aug. 10, and Friday, Aug. 11, with Midland opening.

The casino is marking Chesney’s appearance by naming him the 31st inductee to its Arena Walk of Fame. Chesney has played five back-to-back sell-out performances at Mohegan Sun Arena since he kicked off his Sun City Carnival 2009 Tour, the casino said. Now, as the songwriter from east Tennessee returns to Mohegan Sun for his final two indoor shows of 2017, he will be presented with his Walk of Fame star on Friday at 4 p.m. in the arena box office forecourt, a few hours before his concert.

The 49-year-old Chesney, also known for his philanthropy and for his love of grilled cheese sandwiches, has delivered such hits as “No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems” and “Beer in Mexico,” along with “Bar at the End of the World,” a popular tune from his 2016 album, “Cosmic Hallelujah.”

The No Shoes Nation can get rowdy at times, so be prepared if you purchase a general admission ticket for the pit (the floor area just in front of the stage); there will be no chairs there.
